Quantitative RT-PCR using a PCR-generated competitive internal standard.
One approach to quantitate RNA is the use of a known number of competitive internal standard molecules that are reverse-transcribed and subsequently co-amplified under the same reaction conditions as the target sequence (3). This technique, called competitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (cRT-PCR) has been applied to monitor the level of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in patient...
متن کاملQuantitative nucleic acid amplification by digital PCR for clinical viral diagnostics.
In the past few years, interest in the development of digital PCR (dPCR) as a direct nucleic acid amplification technique for clinical viral diagnostics has grown. The main advantages of dPCR over qPCR include: quantification of nucleic acid concentrations without a calibration curve, comparable sensitivity, superior quantitative precision, greater resistance to perturbations by inhibitors, and...
متن کاملDesign and performance testing of quantitative real time PCR assays for influenza A and B viral load measurement.
BACKGROUND The antiviral effect of anti-influenza drugs such as zanamivir may be demonstrated in patients as an increased rate of decline in viral load over a time course of treatment as compared with placebo. Historically this was measured using plaque assays, or Culture Enhanced Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (CE-ELISA). OBJECTIVES to develop and characterise real time quantitative PCR (...
متن کاملDNA copy number concentration measured by digital and droplet digital quantitative PCR using certified reference materials
The value assignment for properties of six certified reference materials (ERM-AD623a-f), each containing a plasmid DNA solution ranging from 1 million to 10 copies per μL, by using digital PCR (dPCR) with the BioMark™ HD System (Fluidigm) has been verified by applying droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) using the QX100 system (Bio-Rad). One of the critical factors in the measurement of copy number conc...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
